With conjunction with mutt -y it works fine. The problem still
remains, thought.  If I use one account say for user1 I need From:
field to look like <user1@domain>, and when I use another account the
From: field should be different, say <user2@domain>. I tried but in
vain.  Should I always enter From: field manually, or it can be
automated ?

Is account-hook sutable for that? I tried, but unsuccessfully.

And yet, I don't quite visualize to myself how account-hook is
working.  Mainly which account-hook at what times is called?
